Get products from the products collection with filtering and pagination
AI agents call get_products to retrieve information from Directus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves product data from a collection with standard read operations (filtering, pagination). No side effects, modifications, or irreversible actions are implied. This is a straightforward Read category operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_products' and description 'Get products from the products collection with filtering and pagination' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get products from the products collection with filtering and pagination. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Directus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Directus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_products: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Directus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_products is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_products rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_products. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_products is provided by the Directus MCP Server MCP server (staminna/mcp-server-claude). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
